Craft Beer from Gunma, Japan

Taste and Feel the Joy of Kawaba Village

What is KAWABA?

Kawaba is a small village of 3,400 people located amidst the beautiful landscape of Gunma, Japan. Kawaba means “The Place of Rivers,” so named because the village is surrounded by five rivers and many mountain streams. Kawaba Village also sits at the southern foot of Mt. Hotaka -one of Japan’s most sacred mountains.

What is KAWABA BEER?

100% malt beers, using only the finest imported ingredients from Germany, combined with the sweet natural spring waters of glorious Mt. Hotaka. The villagers here take pride and joy in the natural beauty of their home, and passionately brew Kawaba Beer out of a desire to share that joy with others.

We invite you to enjoy a new taste in brewing excellence with our Kawaba Beers.
